“How can one identify the true owner of a cyber risk? When everyone is responsible, no one is responsible. This is an undisputed fact. To the best of my knowledge, organizations often rely on frameworks such as RACI matrices (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) to formally assign ownership. From another perspective, however, the “true owner” of a cyber threat is its creator. And here is where the truth may reside. Whether it is hackers, insiders, corporate culture, a lack of CISO expertise, disinformation, or perhaps the very silos you have built. And wait. What about your CIO, your CEO, your Board? Think of them as the first line of cyber threats. I can. I am a scientist, a researcher. I search for what I cannot even imagine at first. Then - it is up to you to decide where to look.”

“Navigating a complex system of cloud computing with an enterprise cybersecurity strategy is not an easy feat. A complex technological system works when designed correctly. However, adding the human factor as an element to this system is an ever-escalating paradox and a potential cyberthreat.”

“A systemic approach to the knowledge collected will help decision makers to construct resilient and proactive measures across these pathways: Prominent partnerships of cooperation and interconnectedness as a new business model are needed to make the existing model of competition between companies obsolete. Heal the broken links in cyber-security by creating cyber-resilient supply and value chains. Leader-shift your business from the culture of fear and uncertainty to the business of trust.”

“The IoT market grows rapidly and it’s acceleration will continue in all major areas like Industrial Internet of Things; Digital Enterprise; Internet of Healthcare; Internet of Energy; Internet of Education; Digitalisation of global Supply Chains. Security concerns add to the IoT complexity. Strategically, to assure the system’s reliability & data / knowledge engineering, it is important to insure data integrity, availability, traceability, and privacy. A complex problem of digital transformation globally. The Internet of Things cybersecurity, therefore, is not a matter of device self-defence. What is needed is a systemic approach. Identify underlying patterns. Secure elements of a chain: from security of a device that creates, captures your data.. to the data storage.. to the back-end storage.. Create/ join IoT ecosystems, driven by protection with external monitoring, detection and reaction systems. It is a challenge - to secure systems.”

“The global cloud computing market is expected to reach $623.3 billion by 2023. According to cloud computing growth stats, the industry will grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18% during the forecast period. Global Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) market is expected to grow with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 22.9% over the forecast period from 2020-2026. Cloud computing holds great potential for organizations that choose to stay agile and empower rapid scaling-up through partnerships and access to flexible and accessible resources. With the cloud, IT is no longer a product, it is a service. The pay-as-you-go model holds the promise of saving money using the cloud. Efficiency and savings can be achieved, given, the attention is paid to cloud cost optimization. With inevitable rapid changes and challenges of an evolving digital landscape, recognizing the complexity of the organization, having a long-term focus and strategic objectives is vital.”

“To achieve cost savings and strategic performance while innovating and taking decisions that will have serious consequences, apply the systems thinking approach and a knowledge-based vision. Have a long-term focus and strategic objectives; acknowledge the complexity of an organization; recognise that scaling-up successful strategy requires (hyper)convergence of business objectives, data analytics, human-factors engineering, information and cyber security, regulatory compliance, cutting edge technologies… Understand the process! Enjoy success!”

“Die Frage ist nicht mehr, ob man auf Cloud Computing setzt, sondern wann und wie. Die Cloud Infrastruktur- und Cloud Sicherheits-Strategie sollte immer mit der Unternehmensstrategie einhergehen. Denn die Implementierung von Cloud Computing könnte die treibende Kraft für eine Unternehmen oder eine Organisation werden. In einer auf das Geschäftsmodell abgestimmten Cloud-Strategie, ist Cloud Security oftmals der entscheidende Faktor im allumfassenden Sicherheitsmodell. Strategisch muss Cloud-Sicherheit daher eine gemeinsame Aufgabe des Cloud-Providers und des Kunden sein.”

“For an enterprise, the digital readiness in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) business environment an accurate, reliable, and timely information flow along with the customer trust, play a fundamental role. Destructive and demoralising, the financial impact of experiencing a data breach continues to increase year over year for businesses. A very complex situation of a data breach / ransomware / malware attack (to name a few cyberthreats) leads to even more complex and challenging reputational damage, making, potentially, a cyber-attack costs ongoing for years. As threat actors are innovating, cybersecurity experts assert their own unique interpretation of trust. The Zero Trust approach therefore is a powerful and promising concept.”

“It is essential to know that no single specific technology is associated with Zero Trust architecture. The Zero Trust is a security model based on the principle of maintaining strict access controls and not trusting anyone by default; a holistic approach to network security, that incorporates a number of different principles and technologies.”

“I would love to see more women in the area of digital transformation. If women have improved access to skills development in this area, I believe it will have a positive impact for many generations to come. The skills acquired in digital transformation are transferrable to other sectors as well. The skills are practical and can lead to scientific breakthroughs. Because of this I believe there can be a generational impact. The generational impact is important because we live in an age of commoditized information. As a society, we are relatively new to this reality and while cyber threats are the root of information security challenges, information security challenges are increasingly becoming the root of global threats. There needs to be increased involvement of more international stakeholders with the goal of improving digital transformation skills for everyone. These skills are powerful and for that reason I will continue to promote cyber knowledge-sharing and greater access to cybersecurity education. For more women to enjoy the digital world full of surprises and rewards!”

“The Mega-Trend - The Convergence of Technologies. The era of standalone "silos" of tech is over. The most powerful innovations and disruptive business models of the next decade will emerge from the intentional and strategic combination of these technologies. Understanding how they fit together is now more important than understanding any one of them in isolation.”

“Worldwide, the prospects of the fast-advancing quantum computing (r)evolution, will challenge the pre-quantum way of conducting scientific and industrial development by making digital transformation of societies, organizations, and financial markets fundamentally different. Beyond the commercial research and development made possible by global corporations; universities; scientific communities; research laboratories… the nation states, we could presume, are interested the most in practical application of quantum technologies.”
